Hi! I'm Dionne Ong (she/her)- but I prefer to be called Di (pronounced: 'D'). I'm a Malaysian-Canadian artist and designer whose work explores the magic of animals, the benevolence of life and death, and the wild within us all.

It's so easy to see the magic in Mother Nature and animals, and deem them worthy of love. And yet, we struggle to allow ourselves to be worthy of love- despite being part of nature.

Nature can help inform the way we process who we are, what our life here means, and what happens to us when we leave our bodies.

I hope that through my art, I can remind you of the magic that you are made of.

Thank you so much for your interest in my work, it means so much to me.
